Food is safely cooked when it reached a high enough internal temperature to kill the harmful bacteria that cause foodborne illness. The best way to check the internal temperature of food is using a food thermometer. Follow these safe minimal internal temperatures:
Ground meats: ground meats should be cooked to a minimal internal temperature of 160°F.
Roasts: various cuts of roasts should be cooked to a minimal internal temperature of 145°F.
Steaks: steaks should be cooked to a minimal internal temperature of 145°F. Steaks cooked to a medium texture should reach 160°F, and if you like your steak well done cook it to 170°F. Be sure to let the steak rest for three minutes after removing from the heat source.
Remember these key points about food safety:
Never eat meat which has been under cooked or between the temperature danger zone of 40°F and 140°F. Take these steps to keeping your food safe! If you would like more information check out our Food Protection Management page at http://foodsafety.tamu.edu/ or http://www.fightbac.org/ .
